Scientific investigations launching to the International Space Station on the 31st SpaceX commercial resupply services mission include studies of solar wind, a radiation-tolerant moss, spacecraft materials, and cold welding in space.
Filled with nearly 6,000 pounds of supplies, a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket will lift off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
CRS-31 is the fifth flight for this Dragon spacecraft, which previously flew CRS-21, CRS-23, CRS-25, and CRS-28 to the International Space Station. After an almost 13-hour flight, Dragon will autonomously dock with the station on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at approximately 10:15 a.m. ET.
